Maty Mauk set Ohio state records and led his team to the state finals game in 2011. He’ll try to channel that success Saturday.
As a placekicker, Baggett plays a distinct role for the Missouri football team. But he’s just as normal of a person as the next.

copeland’s cranium Editor’s note: Missouri guard Max Copeland, the force behind ‘Copeland’s Cranium,’ is prohibited from talking to the media for two weeks. During his hiatus, Copeland has set up a video blog to reveal what is on his mind. You can find the blog at montanamadman61x.blogspot.com. Here are some highlights:
R
T r a n s c r ibe d a n d e di t e d b y m att he w fa ir bur n
ecently everyone has been real stressed out because they found out that the government has been reading our emails and our text messages and listening to our phone calls.
I’ve known about that for years. That’s why I keep a lot of slang, I use a lot of code and I don’t make phone calls when I could talk to someone in person. But what a lot of people don’t know is that the government is in the bathroom. I don’t trust automated flushers, automated sinks, automated paper towel dispensers, automated water fountains, and you know I don’t trust the automated soap dis-
pensers. I don’t like that blinking red light when it’s looking at me. I know germs don’t exist, and I’m not afraid to touch stuff. And the government knows germs don’t exist, so why are they putting in all these automated sinks and toilets and urinals and soap dispensers? I’ll tell you why. Those are cameras. They’re keeping tabs on us. People think they’re safe in the bathroom. That’s why they can keep tabs on you there. They’ll hit you where you think you’re safe. So, here’s how you avoid the government watching you. Try to avoid things that say ‘This is a new space age, hands-free.’ Hands- free means government spy, CIA tracking device. Don’t be afraid to touch stuff. Faucets where you have to touch the nozzle or the little handle, those are fine. Those are good to go. When you see some blinking red lights, get out of there, man. Uncle Sam’s watching you.
PREGAME PLAYLIST Copeland’s pregame playlist has 61 songs to match his uniform number. Here is one of the essential tracks:
“Snakecharmer” rage against the machine I’ve been a big Rage Against the Machine fan since I was in the seventh or eighth grade. They’re a band that every time you listen to them, they stay fresh. You never get tired of listening to them. I still get chills when I hear some their breakdowns and some of the riffs in their songs. It is rebel music. They embody this nasty snarl towards authority that I just, I really dig, man. Their sound is unlike anything else. A track that I’ve been listening to is “Snakecharmer” on “Evil Empire.” I think my favorite and most powerful part of the song comes at the end. It closes with the line, “Your friendship is a fog that closes and disappears when the wind redirects you. Interested in you. Interested in you.” And he keeps repeating the line “Interested in you.” It leaves you in this sense of unrest after the song. And also it is thought-provoking, and you wonder where the song was written out of. It made you think the song was written out of disillusionment. People are always going to be interested in you for something. Most times it’s going to be to profit off of you. They want something out of you. This is a song that really illustrates the disillusion in realizing that some people are going to be interested in you because they’re interested in themselves.

question mauk? Seemingly an afterthought in Missouri’s surprise start, backup quarterback Maty Mauk was thrust into the spotlight during the fourth quarter against Georgia. story by alexander smith // photos by kevin cook
T
he Maty Mauk experiment effectively ended in Bloomington, Ind. A few days after Missouri’s 45-28 thumping of the Indiana Hoosiers on Sept. 21, coach Gary Pinkel was asked why his redshirt freshman quarterback didn’t get his typical first-half series. “In the heat of the battle, we just forgot,” Pinkel said. The plummet from potential starting quarterback to zero meaningful playing time was swift. And by this year’s fifth game, senior James Franklin had erased all doubt that he was just as good or better than the sophomore version of himself who tossed 21 touchdowns and ran for 15 more. Mauk watched from the sideline. The 20-year-old was officially in the running to take Franklin’s job until Aug. 15, but by then, the competition was somewhat of a joke. The young gun had struggled mightily in fall scrimmages, while Franklin made fewer and fewer mistakes as the season opener neared. “He’s really developed as a leader of this offense,” Pinkel said of Franklin. “And we feel he’s ready to be the difference-maker he was before all of the health challenges he dealt with last season.” Flash forward to this past Saturday in Athens, Ga. Up by two points early in the fourth quarter of an eventual 41-26 upset victory, the Tigers were driving to extend its lead. Franklin, having another notable day in the pocket, rolled out to his left. The senior flipped the football out of bounds just as two Georgia Bulldogs smashed him to the ground. Obviously hurt, Franklin shook his right arm, but he remained in the game for one more play — a curious scamper from the middle of the field to the sideline without being touched. The Tigers called timeout while doctors attended the senior. Suddenly, all eyes were on No. 7.
“At first, I didn’t know what was going on,” Mauk said. “Nothing was going through my mind like, ‘I’m going in.’” Franklin laughed at the memory. “It’s funny because when I went off, he looked over at me like, ‘Hey, what’s up?’” Franklin said. Quarterbacks coach Andy Hill told Mauk to start warming up, and the offensive linemen walked over to him and put their hands on his pads. “Go out there and be you,” they told Mauk. “Nothing else. Be calm. Be relaxed and just do what you do best.” Then, Mauk trotted onto the field to run the offense. Georgia had scored 16 straight points, and the crowd at Sanford Stadium was as loud as it would get all day. If Mauk could not convert in the third-and-six situation, the Bulldogs would potentially turn around and completely erase what was once an 18-point lead for the Tigers. “I got there, I gave ‘em the play, and I took a deep breath,” Mauk said. “Then I said, ‘It’s go time. I’ve got to be me.’ That’s what I did for the rest of the game, and I felt good about it.” The new quarterback took the snap and scampered to his left for 6 yards. First down. Two plays later, Mauk lateraled the ball to wideout Bud Sasser, who connected for a 40-yard touchdown to L’Damian Washington. Missouri once again had the momentum, and Georgia failed to score again. Its upset complete, the Tigers whooped its way off the field. Franklin was one of the last players to get to the locker room, and he wasn’t smiling. Doctors diagnosed him with a sprained shoulder, and Pinkel said he would be unavailable for at least three weeks. Mauk was officially at the top of the depth chart.

Support system The last game Maty Mauk started was in Massillon, Ohio. There were 10,329 people in attendance at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium for the 2011 Ohio Division II state championship between Kenton and Norwayne. Mauk, the Kenton quarterback and two-time Gatorade Ohio Player of the Year, threw five touchdowns, but his final heave was intercepted at the goal line in a 48-42 loss. “I know with the heart my guys have that we have a chance to score anytime we have the ball,” Mauk said to local media after the loss that November. Now, 1 1/2 seasons removed from his narrow state championship defeat, Mauk inherits another team with devastating scoring ability. The Tigers have scored at least 38 points in all six victories, including a combined 92 points in the team’s two Southeastern Conference road games. Franklin had plenty of weapons, including an NFL-ready trio of receivers (Dorial Green-Beckham, Marcus Lucas and Washington) as well as a threesome of speed backs (Henry Josey, Russell Hansbrough and Marcus Murphy). Not to mention an offensive line that, while a little banged up, is much improved after its injury-riddled train wreck of a 2012 season. “I know our receivers that are going to be in the game are some of the best in the country,” Mauk said. “So I have all the confidence in them, and then our offensive line is doing great this year. We have confidence in each other. We’re going to execute and do our thing.” Suffice to say that Mauk has help. And, if it’s possible, he might have more assistance off the field than on it.

I got there, I gave ‘em the play, and I took a deep breath. Then I said, ‘It’s go time. I’ve got to be me.’ Maty mauk
On going into the game last Saturday versus Georgia Mauk with confidence boosters and good wishes as the Missouri plane touched down Saturday night, but another former college standout was also in the young quarterback’s ear. Mauk’s older brother Ben was a record-setting quarterback at Kenton who threw for 31 passing touchdowns as a senior for Cincinnati in 2007. In fact, Ben Mauk held the national high school records for passing yards and passing touchdowns before Maty Mauk’s career totals (18,932 yards and 219 touchdowns) eclipsed him. The two are often compared for their sneaky rushing ability and pocket elusiveness, but the younger brother knows he has a lot to learn before he attains the same success at the NCAA level. “We’ve already talked more in the last three days than we have in the last three weeks,” Maty Mauk said. “So he’s gonna be doing everything he can to help me. “He gives me something to think about, and then when I go out there, I’m looking for it. Is the safety doing this? Is the corner doing this? Is he pressed? Stuff like that. It’s more mental.” Franklin, hoping to return to health before the end of the season, knows he has to help Mauk through the tough SEC schedule.

”
He doesn’t want to give too much advice, though. “You definitely don’t want to overdo it,” Franklin said. “It’s important and everything, but I don’t want to overhype or make him think it’s a bigger deal than it is.” Perhaps the best adviser thus far has been Green-Beckham, who urged Mauk to simply throw it in his direction when under stress — the 6-foot-6-inch receiver promised to make the play. Fellow wideout Lucas isn’t worried about the quarterback change. Chemistry isn’t a problem. “He is pretty quiet,” Lucas said of Mauk. “But at the same time, he’s a jokester when he gets to know you. He’s one of our brothers, and he acts like it. He fits in with us, and we’re definitely excited for him to be out there.”
The game plan Andy Hill has seen them before. The nervous wrecks. The scared sillies. The guys who wish they were anywhere but No. 2 on the depth chart after the starter goes down. “I’ve been on the sideline when guys have been in panic situations,” Hill said. “And they get cottonmouth and wide-eyed and like, ‘Oh my gosh, what am I doing?’” Hill, the quarterbacks coach, didn’t see that Saturday in Athens. “Maty came out, was very calm, got everything right, all the signals we were trying to do,” Hill said. “I think it’s really going to help him going forward just because he has confidence.” When a new quarterback takes the reins, teams tend to shorten the playbook and proceed with extreme caution on offense. Not the Tigers. “We’re just gonna run our offense,” Pinkel said. “He’ll make some mistakes, like all kids do. But you don’t want him to be a robot out there. You want him to be able to do what he does and play quarterback the way he plays quarterback.” Given his four-star recruit status as a pass-first quarterback and his plethora of passing records coming out of high school, Mauk’s “way” of playing quarterback involves airing the ball out. “That’s why I’m here,” Mauk said. “They recruited me to come do that.” The redshirt freshman doesn’t plan to simply hand the ball off and control the game Saturday against Florida. He wants to make the same electrifying plays that Franklin has been making all season, be them with his arm or his legs. “I feel like me and James like the same stuff,” Mauk said. “He likes to run the ball. I like to run the ball. He likes to go deep, so we’re real similar in that. I don’t expect anything to change. We’re going to play Missouri football this week.” Confidence aside, Mauk has a lot to prove to a Missouri fan base reenergized by an unexpected 6-0 start. Will he play like he did in the fourth quarter against Georgia? Or look lost on the field, as he did through most of spring and fall practice? “I think he can do a really good job,” Franklin said. “I know he needs the confidence and support from everyone on the team, and we're gonna give that to him.”

7 Florida 6 10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT
Each week gets tougher for Missouri. After knocking off Georgia on the road, Missouri jumped from No. 25 to No. 14 in the polls. The next test is against No. 22 Florida in Columbia. Missouri is trying to improve to 7-0 for the second time under coach Gary Pinkel. You know that Florida poses a tough challenge for Missouri, but here are 10 things you might not know about the Gators.
Columbia Missourian The Gators also produce plenty of NFL talent. Among the dozens of players Florida has sent to the NFL over the years, two are among the top 15 rushers in the league’s history. Emmitt Smith ranks No. 1 in career rushing yards, while Fred Taylor is No. 15 on that list. Between the two former Gators, they have 30,040 NFL rushing yards.
Florida is the home of Gatorade. It has become well known that Dr. Robert Cade invented Gatorade at Florida in 1965 as a solution to the team losing energy and becoming dehydrated. Most don’t realize that the refreshing beverage had a nasty taste at first. But Cade’s wife added lemon juice and sugar. The rest is history.

Gainesville, Fla., where the University of Florida is located, was once known as Hogtown. In 1853, a proposed railroad became the center of controversy when residents realized it would bypass Newnansville, the county seat. Instead of switching the plans for the railroad, citizens decided to build a new town to be the county seat. The new town was located at the site of Hogtown, a 19th century settlement for the Seminoles. It was named Gainesville after general Edmund Pendleton Gaines, who was a commander in the second Seminole War. Even though the site formerly known as Hogtown was annexed in 1961, some Gainesville businesses and events still identify with Hogtown.
Florida had a live Gator as its mascot from 1957 to 1970. The school then decided it would be safer to have a less-intimidating mascot. That’s when the Gator costume was designed, and Albert was born. Since 1986, Albert has been joined on the sideline by his wife, Alberta. While awfully cute, the new mascots don’t stack up to the intimidation factor provided by a live alligator.

Actor Stephen Root graduated from Florida. Root is best known for his work as Milton Waddams in “Office Space” and Gordon Pibb in “Dodgeball.” Both characters were overly nervous and tightly wound to begin their movies before displaying aggressive outbursts in the end. So maybe that’s what the Tigers can expect from the Gators on Saturday.
The fast food restaurant Wendy’s was named after a Gator. Dave Thomas, who founded Wendy’s, named the restaurant after his daughter Melinda Lou “Wendy” Morse, who graduated from Florida in 1983.
Florida school colors were decided by a compromise. The University of Florida at Lake City and the East Florida Seminary in Gainesville combined to form the University of Florida. In 1910, the school adopted orange and blue as the school colors. The University of Florida at Lake City had blue and white school colors, while the East Coast Florida Seminary in Gainesville had orange and black. Compromise is a wonderful thing.

Florida football was not known as the Gators until 1911, which happened to be the team’s only undefeated season. At the end of the season, a local vendor wanted to make banners to commemorate the season but didn’t know what nickname to give the team. The name Gators was decided based on a popular student organization at Florida known as the Bo Gator Club, founded in 1907 by Neal Storter, the center and captain of the 1911 team.

Gainesville is the home of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Petty, Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench were in a band called “Mudcrutch,” which mostly played locally in Gainesville. The three later went on to form “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers,” a much more lucrative operation.

Florida fans annoy Georgia fans. The two schools are intense rivals, and that extends to the fan bases. One Georgia fan interviewed in Athens the Friday before Missouri beat Georgia gave Missouri fans an idea of what to expect from Florida fans. “Their official dress code is cut-off blue jeans, tank tops and weird looking hats,” 65-year old Georgia fan David House said. “They are annoying.”

What are your top five favorite movies? Most movies I watch now are for my girlfriend. She just tells me what to watch. I don’t know if I have five favorite movies.
Where do you go to eat around town?

I try to eat a little healthy, so I try to eat at sandwich shops, get a turkey sandwich. If I want to splurge, I’ll go to Flat Branch and eat with my parents or some of the places downtown that are specific to Columbia like Shakespeare’s Pizza.
What’s one thing people don’t know about your hometown (Lee’s Summit)? We’ve got a lot of people from my hometown on this team. Corbin Berkstresser, Evan Boehm, me and some other guys who don’t necessarily play: Jordan Hill, D’Andre McKenzie, Jordan Wade. I’m sure there’s another one I missed.
What’s your favorite class? My favorite class right now would probably be 19th-century America. I’m in engineering, so all my classes are tough. I’ve got thermodynamics, statics, 19th-century history and statistics 4710, so (19th century America) is my easy class. I put one in there for myself, so I’m not stressing out all over the board.

What would you say to someone who told you kickers aren’t real football players? I’d say OK, and I wouldn’t argue with them because there’s no point in arguing with them. A lot of times, kickers can make a game or lose a game for a team. Georgia won (Oct. 5) on a kick, so I think that kind of shows — maybe not in the sense of having to go tackle people and being 200 or 300 pounds — but I think kickers are a very important part of the game.
